updated files

[vti]

Hi
is it possible to edit a file and when that file get update from someone else ,at same time show the last updated line to screen.?I can do it with "tail -1 -f file_name" but i want to edit 5-6 files at same time.

Thanks for any help.

If I've understood you correctly, you want to tail several files ( as tail -1 filena* isn't permitted) in one go.
So, you put the command in a loop
e.g.
for filen in file_patterns*
tail -1 $filen
done
